On today’s episode of Making Life, we speak with Erinn. Erinn has been navigating neurodivergence with her two eldest sons and herself and we talk through the challenges and the joy of neurodivergent minds. We also talk about the toughest diagnosis of all - Erinn’s youngest son has epilepsy and Erinn tells us about living most parents' worst nightmare, having to witness her son have seizures and the crisis parenting that comes with it.

Content warning - we discuss epilepsy and seizures in this episode.
